One thing I've noticed with the music in this game is that since none of it is tied to a specific location or boss, it ends up giving off a "general-purpose Touhou song" vibe, kind of like how some fan-made Touhou songs don't have the luxury of having a specific stage or boss to work off of.

I'm not saying the music is bad or anything—I just find it funny how that used to be mainly a fan problem until now. If anything, I think it's cool how even with so little to work with, you can still accurately place songs as belonging to early-, mid-, or late-game stages or bosses.

The soundtrack comes from バレットフィリア達の闇市場　〜 100th Black Market, the 18.5th Touhou game. Building on the "Ability Card" system from Unconnected Marketeers, this game revolves around adventuring through randomly generated stages while collecting money to purchase and eventually permanently unlock ability cards.
